Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise
Purposeful and Transparent
Students are always talking about the weather. They express many opinions that can be turned into topic sentences for paragraphs. They can observe details for support.

Contextual
The natural objects give students an opportunity to experience sensory details of touch and smell as well as obtain visual details that the photographs also provide.

Building Expertise
Paragraphs can easily be expanded into essays since the framework has been created. Students who felt intimidated by an essay see it is not that hard to add more details to extend their writing. They can get ideas from other students.
